There’s nothing quite like a peaceful forest breakfast to start the day. 🌲✨
Willow and I had a few extra guests drop by this morning, and we couldn't resist sharing. A little extra grain, some freshly picked berries, and plenty of room for all our woodland friends. 🦌🐿️
Birds, bunnies, even a couple of foxes stopped by to say hello, all part of the family out here on the porch! Settling into this quiet, simple life has truly been a blessing. It's moments like these that make you appreciate the wild wonders of nature. Sending cozy wishes your way! 🍵❤️

A comic about food art!

-which always gets me in trouble!
(but I think is funny... 😜)

HOMESCHOOL
if you can
Its the best, homeschooled kids are well rounded and better socialized

You can teach your child how to write with pencils and literally any kind of paper. You can teach them how to count with toys from their toy box. You can teach a child to read a clock just by using the clock on the wall. You can teach them to count money with a pile of coins on the kitchen table. You can teach geography by spending a few minutes a day with a map or a globe. You can teach history with free books from the library, or free documentaries on YouTube. You can teach them so many things about the natural world by just spending time outdoors. You can teach them composition by letting them copy the work of great writers. You can teach them how to think with conversations about everything.

Education isn't complicated or expensive. It doesn't require a teaching certificate. You don't even have to have a curriculum for everything. (Don't come at me; I love curriculum. But I've taught my kids a LOT of things without it.)

If you want your kids out of the public school system, you can do it. Just start. That's really it. Get some pencils and paper, and go to the library. Go in the backyard. Play, read, walk, talk, and be together. You'll be surprised at how much your kids can learn just from YOU.
